- Carlube AdBlue 10 Litre: amzn.to/32eQSPj
It's time for Roger to top up his AdBlue on the Vivaro, but where should he be buying his stock from?
What is AdBlue and how does it work? find out at Carbuyer
www.carbuyer.c...
AdBlue is becoming increasingly common on diesel cars and is a fluid made up of a mix of urea and deionized water which is squirted into the exhaust system, helping to reduce nitrous oxide emissions produced by diesel engines. With car manufacturers having to adhere to ever more stringent emissions targets, AdBlue is vital to make sure diesel cars pass tests and produce less harmful pollution.

Well done Roger dodge, at least you made the effort to try and help everyone out ! Why is it so hard in this day and age for people to say "thank you" you've probably helped thousands of people out....well done mate.
Thanks. The older I get the less I expect from people. Warmth, love and generosity are on the way out.

Oh boy you're not wrong there Roger!
Happy new year to you and all your subs.
@@SkillBuilder Stay positive. Keep setting a good example for others!!!
£5.20 for 5lts In home bargains
@@SkillBuilderhave you still got the “dislike” bar??? I want it back 😂
First time I watch this man, certainly won’t be the last. Outstanding and THANKYOU. Expect to see many DPD and Amazon vans at these locations now though 😂
I work for a Scania truck dealership and we have this stuff in the big IBC tanks, we sell it for around 40pence a litre, just need to bring your own tubs to put it in, other truck dealerships will probably sell it around the same price, worth a check 👍.
Thanks I will check it out
Roger is a top geezer. This is not the kind of channel I would normally subscribe to but, [presses Subscribe button] I have now. His advice on RAAC (Re-inforced Aerated Autoclaved Concrete) was the first video of his I saw and it was top notch. It's nice to hear from people who have INFORMATION and not just OPINION.
I changed car from diesel to petrol and still had five litres of AdBlue with nowhere to use it. Knowing it was urea in water, basically piss-and same as the nitrogen green up in grass treatments I treated the lawn to a dressing. Burned brown in an hour. Guess it should have been diluted. Reseeded and the new grass was up in two weeks and has needed a cut every fortnight since. It’s very green.
I assume it's the garage owners downvoting this video :-)
HAS TO BE .THEY DON,T LIKE LOSING MONEY HA.
If you've got a garage that has truck pumps, it's worth looking to see if they've got an Adblue pump. Exactly the same stuff, but even cheaper again. Usually around 79p a litre
This is now almost 3 times the price in Ireland, same product in screwfix, seems like someone is making a nice profit. Thanks for your excellent videos Roger.
Spot on Graham. Currently a 5% off offer so only Eur25.95 for 10Ltr in Ireland.
Why not just go to a garage with it on pump? I haven’t bought adblue in a container in years.
@@shaunsmith8494 I tried, told me it was only for lorries.
Currently 9 tossers who don’t appreciate it when someone tries to help others. Thanks Roger 🍻
How have he helped when he didn't say what's it's uaed for
@@hardworker8030 he explained it was for his euro 6 emissions van and it's also in the video description. Open your ears and eyes FFS
@@vp5 The description doesn't show on my phone. To me he's advertising it for toolstation and screwfix as he did mention that not many tradesmen are not buying it from screwfix.
Hard Worker if you don’t know what ad blue is then you don’t need it
@@denty32 I don't need it but I wonder how many people know they got to buy it.
It’s about time garages had this at the pumps. Been in truckstops for years now at the same pumps you get your diesel from.
And even though they'll be able to sell gallons of the stuff, they will want to charge premium rates for it.
Why are we getting screwed from every angle. Thanks for this great tip. I’m almost out of Ad Blu so good timing. I’ve also seen at petrol stations in pump form better not had chance to check out the price . Would save wasting a large plastic can.
Worth subscribing just for that. I normally buy 10ltrs from Tesco and it *never* crossed my mind to buy from TS or SF. Cheers
Appreciate it’s a new comment on an older video but this is now £20 per 10L at Screwfix, though still better than 2 x 5L in many cases. Fortunately a petrol station nearby now has a pump on the forecourt charging £1.29 per litre which is much better value and no plastic waste. Might not be a new thing but it’s the first I’ve seen by the litre 👍🏻
Mannol ad blue 4 x 10L is £28 on eBay
In my car Adblue is topped up from the engine bay , lifting 10kg and leaning forward without spilling all over the place is not easy, as I found out. 5 litre containers are far easier. Good advice though.
Look for petrol stations that have it on pump, you will often need to pull up in the HGV side to fill, but from the pump is cheapest by far. Last time I filled up it was about .80p per litre
Top tip : Stab hole in bottom of container when filling, emptys in seconds.
Nice tip Roger👍
Dan Gordon thanks for that got a dead arm last time I had to fill up 👍
Happy new year roger and thanks for passing this information on, I've known about this for a while but I just assumed lots of others did as well, so I was surprised to hear that they hardly sell any
I don't even have a van and I'm grateful for this tip. Great to know! Thanks Roger.
Yep petrol stations rip off prices... Halfords, Screwfix best places and Prices.... should never have to pay more than a tenner for 10L... Happy new year Roger and team,,,
Happy New Year to you Roger and not forgetting Robin. Looking forward to seeing what you both have lined up for 2020. All the best,
Craig.
My electrical wholesalers sell it for around a tenner for ten litres. It seems that the garages and Halfords are the best part of £20.
Who are they, I'm going there
great to know but it seems the price of ad blue has skyrocket now in 2022 ,i find that tradesmen do not worry about prices they just pile it on to the customer to cover there top of the range pickup truck
It can sometimes be cheaper and easier buying it on a pump in a garage forecourt normally on a lgv Lane. Services and bigger garages normally have them.
My local BP £20+ My local Toolstation £9.99 💪🏼👍🏼😉
That is a hell of a difference.
Skill Builder some BP’s and other fuel stations you can fill adblue from the HGV lane pump. Much easier and more convenient . No plastic canister to dispose of 💪🏼
@@SkillBuilder I go to the Audi dealers and get just under 17 litres filled for £15
I buy off ebay as soon as the warning comes up. Last week, I paid £14.99 for 20 litres
Well done Roger spreading the word 👏
Thank you Roger from Chris Jones. If only there was more people like you about. Your alright. Take care mate.
I know this video was posted 4 years ago, but here in Aus 🇦🇺 You can buy Adblue at the pump at selected fuel stations, costing about $20 for 10 litres. A 10 litre bottle at an auto store is around $70.
Great find. l would also advise try finding a petrol station that has it on a pump, even cheaper then.
Just started a a new job and they’ve given me a van, this tip should help out, cheers.
I do this in Australia, shop around, don't wait till you need it. Order online when you see it cheap, don't buy it at the service station.
Alternatively Roger, you can buy it at the pump at some motorway service areas (but only where the trucks fill up) or in deed, at truck stop filling station if you have one nearby 👍
I asked BP and was told only the big lorries are allowed to fill up there, I have a ranger, so I need about 15 to 20 litres for a full fill-up.
@@DragonXDreilots of BP stations have started fitting AdBlue pumps to the regular vehicle pumps now
Hello Roger, AdBlue is $1.00 a Lt here in Oz which is about 53 p/lt. Just for your info. All the best.
Do this sort of video on tools n other stuff, winner 👍 happy new year
You could also try and do a deal with a local company who has their own adblue pump who could charge you a cheaper rate.
Some garages have a specific adblue pump next to the diesel pump in the hgv area and they sell it by the litre.
Yes I have seen those but there aren't enough
Also be aware that the nozzle of the adblue on a pump in the HGV section is going to be larger. Give it a go tho.
I've got a 64 reg Ford C Max Grand 1.6 diesel, which is Euro 5 and doesn't need Ad Blue, but would attract a ULEZ charge in London and other cities. Luckily for me, I retired in February 2023 and Greater Manchester, where I live, hasn't introduced any charge yet. Still, a good idea though, that's a heck of a saving on Ad Blue.
Tip : stab a hole in the bottom of the container when you are pouring the ad blue. It lets air in and pushes the adblue out faster
can only do that if your adblue tank will accept the full 10L can otherwise you get wet feet and waste it
I find it works pulling the hose out a bit for a few seconds.
Tip the container onto its side when filling without a spout. If you're using a spout make sure it has a breather hole in it.
That's fine if your tank will take the full 10 litres in one go !!
Happy new year Rodger thanks for the tip. I'm sure more people will shop around to get a better deal👍👍👍👍
A big thank you for letting everyone know. Happy New Year. 👍
Thank you for the Tip on Adblue from screw fix. Appreciated. Mr JR
I get the larger containers from a Morrisons supermarket petrol station, I don't know if it costs more than screwfix. I have a fuel card which i don't pay for anyway as it's a company vehicle.
Fantastic, I usually top up at my local garage as they are one of a few who have it on pump.
Good to know toolstation stock it, as I’m there all the time for DIY projects.
Use the truck petrol station pump. Its a fraction of the price. I have same van as you and the pump fits perfectly.
Ahhh well done fella prob the most useful thing I’ve seen on U tube I seen in months.
Garages hate him for this one simple trick 😂 Happy New Year Roger, 2019 was awesome thanks to you and Robin!
Great tip I didn't know they stocked it
Nice one for that Roger.
Happy New Year mate.
All the best for 2020.
Dave.
Thanks Dave. Keep flying the flag.
Larger shell stations sell it straight from the pump. 67p per litre!
Currently my firm is doing it at 0.68 per litre, petrol stations are pricing it as much as diesel. Always find a local supplier, service stations will have your pants down
I use HGV Ad Blue pumps @ 80p/Litre for my Mercedes Sprinter. I even stop at expensive Motorway services to use the Ad Blue pump. It’s still cheaper than buying the 10 litre drums.
I’ve had lorry drivers moan that I’m in their way and questions from staff when they’re reluctant to switch the pump on.
Cheers buddy thats great news.......you are a star!!! 😁
Keep your empty 10 litre container, Buy 20 litres off ebay for £20, decant in to the 10 litre if it’s too heavy to use.👍
I have an friend of mine who works at the local HMRC office who tells me they're considering taxing adblue as from late 2020 ...
Wouldn't surprise me in the least, the motorist is a soft easy target, the governments the landlord and were the tenants, they screw us every which way, road tolls/ road tax/ fuel tax....
.
How the hell can they make something compulsory for the sake of saving the world and then have the balls to tax us on it, they will probably fine you if you don't have it either!!!
I have a 2006 focus 2lt turbo diesel the thing gets 45-50 Mpg, the most efficient car I have ever owned but they want to charge me £12 or thereabouts "as well as congestion charge" just to drive through London even at midnight. Whole thing is designed to make sure people with older cars never are seen in the centre only those who can afford new flash cars.
Or you can just fill directly from the pump at a truck stop.That's what I do here in Norway. Will probably cost you £5 for 10 liter. Big lorries don't fill by a 10 liter jug.
Go to any fuel stop that provides for lorries. They will have an Adblu pump. Fill up a container and it costs around a £1 a litre.
Motor factors is the best place to get it.
We have 12 transit customs on the road and they go through the stuff for fun.
We pay £12+vat for 20L.
I heard you can use Bud light instead.
Just paid £18 for 10 litres on Amazon, thanks for the tip
Informative- Thank you for posting videos like these, your other videos are great too .
cheaper and easier to pull up to an HGV pump and fill it directly from the pump.
Is their a stop on these same as fuel pumps ?
I have put too much ad blue in before, causing my van to fail to start or I wouldn't ask the 'stupid' question lol
Joe Hogan yes mate there is a stop on the pump. So much easier than using the containers. Stop on the first click though. I squeezed the trigger for a second time and it overflowed. No issues though
I used to buy those cans but if you check in any HGV garage there is an AdBlue pump and I now just fill my van up from the pump and it is so much cheaper or you can simply fill your empty AdBlue containers up at the pump
The Shell garages on Bluebell Hill, Kent... Going down costs £9.99 per 1 litre botle! (yes I did ask and no it wasnt marked incorrectly) whilst going back up there is another Shell with an ad blue hgv pump... about 80p per litre
Well done Roger.
Great Info as always, Happy New Year to all !
Happy New Year, Roger and Robin!
Nearly ever UK tradesman will have an account with one of those so they will save a fortune 👍👍👍👍 .
Cheers ✌
I used to run my Volvo V70 5 cylinder turbo diesel on red for years. I used cat litter to filter the red out of it, but you can't even buy that stuff anywhere now. I don't want my diesel looking blue by adding Adblue, I would much prefer a nice cherry red colour.
I hope you know that it does not go in the fuel tank.
There are a lot of complaints about the Ford Transit dash board warning that says AdBlue malfunction but topping it up doset fix it neither does cleaning the particulate sensor. Even the Ford sealers don’t know what it is. Really frustrating
I go to the fuel station and fill up by the pump.
Sod pissing around with containers.
Adblue is available at the pumps now?
Who knew?
I just tweeted that to all my followers because like you I hate getting ripped off
Best thing to do is get it mapped out no more problems no more worries 🤜🏻
Thanks Roger. Every little counts
In Australia we have it at the bowser for a quarter the price of the container
Thanks for this mate .. I’m in Screwfix often and never realised they sold it!
Apparently it should not be stored where sunlight can get to it and there’s a shelf life marked on the top of the containers. IT’s recommended not to use beyond that date, and if it smells it’s also too old???
Thank you, I'll be going to those stores from now on!!!!!
Thanks for the top tip as ever Roger!!!😊
If you run a firm with several diesels which use Adblu buy a 1000 litre IBC of the stuff and save a packet!
You may find it is even cheaper ,if you get it straight from the pump at a truck franchised workshop
Now £20 for 10L at Toolstation !!!
Thanks for the heads up guy Roger!
Far better money saving advice than the government directive schist on the radio, wash your clothes at 30 degrees to save 20 quid a year ( but spend triple that buying Dettol laundry jollop to get rid of the bugs), or turn rads off in unused rooms to save 50 quid a year ( ignoring thermal losses to cold internal rooms via uninsulated walls).
good info to start to the year roger and i wish you and your's a happy one.
Go on Roger!!! I’m subbing mate
Thanks Roger, good call .....
Worst I've seen was a little garage out in the sticks of Norfolk. They wanted £22.99 for 5L of AdBlue. As I still had ~500 miles before it would refuse to start I decided to carry on and try to find something cheaper. Like vintage wine or something...
I noticed yeterday that the price is back down to £15 in Toolstation.
( Australia). Hi, they stated with 10 litres container $45 ( $4.50 p/ltr)
Now on some Pumps for $0.80c p/ltr.
More and more petrol stations are having it on pump..
I reckon it will happen here but the pump is expensive to install and they will only do it when they see the bottle sales drop.
HGV fuel stations have Ad Blue pumps and its cheaper at the pump
I noticed today that they also sell it in Travis. No surprise as Toolstation is part of the TP group.
Some garages have pumps of ad blue. Have the price and less of a faff than filling via bottle
In Iceland we pump Adblue at the pump, just like Benzene and Diesel...
They do at a lot in the uk too.... but nobody actually knows lol
thats a good tip. Will have to find a equivalent supplier in my country
I've been told/recommended only to buy the "Ford" AdBlue for my transit - it is possible that not all AdBues are equal - warning - don't want a major engine failure buying cheap Adblue - it is worth the risk.
That sounds like Ford trying to seel its pig's piss
Our local filling stn has an adblue pump at 88p / ltr even cheaper and less the hassle of pouring from a container
Worth remembering Roger, I had my arse rumped in a shell garage this very afternoon £22 for 10L
Recently I found my local fuel stn on J42 M6 roundabout had an add blue pump and was much cheaper than the container price
cheers roger! mine is due some and now ill be popping to screwfix instead
Well done Roger
Or you can get it from the pump at most she’ll petrol stations and it’s cheaper than that I believe.
I make it my self 36% urea in distilled water
even better. use the add blue pumps at the garages. you don’t waste money on a container you don’t need
I need a new pitched and tiled roof on my garage, it currently is a troublesome flat roof.. First dibs to you Roger..
